Greenfield Day School was founded in the fall of 1970, with 84 students from grades 1 to 6 and was located in the Westchester area of Miami. At that time the name of the school was the South Dade Hebrew Academy.

By 1974, the school doubled its enrollment. Due to a shift in Jewish population, we purchased a 3.2 acre campus across from Palmetto Senior high School. The school became a beneficiary agency of the Jewish Federation at that time. As the Jewish population moved west, so did the school. Our name changed once again in 1988 to the Arthur and Anna Goldstein Hebrew Academy. The present school building was built in 1990, a beautiful eleven acre campus in the heart of Kendall. We added the name of a new benefactor and became the GREENFIELD DAY SCHOOL. On May 2000, the school broke ground on a building addition. The new wing included a state of the art science laboratory, expanded library and media center, 3 additional classrooms, a reading laboratory and network hub for the school wireless laptop student center.

Since we are located on the Dave & Mary Alper JCC campus, we are able to use the JCC gym, Cultural Arts Center and the Little Kickers field.
